    Wtf makes a song an anthem?

    Anyone have an answer?

    For example, do any of these count?
    One Step Closer (Linkin Park song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    In the End - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Know Your Enemy (Rage Against the Machine song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Killing in the Name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Rage Against the Machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Another anthem thread?

    The real question is anthem of what? One song could be an anthem for a certain group of people, while still not being recognized as an official anthem, or even relevant at all to another group.

    RATM Seems like a safe choice then. Just make up some pseudo-intelligent bullshit about polictical freedom blah blah blah and pick one of their songs. Killing in the name of would be more for like police brutality and shit though.

    Or be a smartass and just pick the national anthem.

    Would it count as an anthem though?

    It would if you could associate it with a group that shares your view.

    Though from reading, it appears that your teacher wants an anthem to your life. Just pick a song that can reliably give you a recurring feeling that stems from the general collection of feelings you have had in your life so far.
